Tony Calvin’s Aintree Tips – Thursday 7th April 2022
1.45 Aintree – WAR LORD @ 3/1 with BetUK – Ran a blinder in the Arkle last time out to be fourth. This looks a tad easier and the longer trip and flatter track are expected to suit this Colin Tizzard 7 year-old.
2.20 Aintree – FAUTINETTE @ 14/1 (e/w) with BetUK – Up in grade again here, but this Venetia Williams 4 year-old has done nothing wrong in winning all 3 starts over hurdles when trained in France. UK debut run here today but is clearly doing well to be thought good enough to run in this grade first time. Looks the e/w value in the race.
4.40 Aintree – FRERO BANBOU @ 11/2 with BetUK – Competitive renewal as normal, but there’s another Venetia Williams runner here that stands out. This 7 year-old was a fine third in the Grand Annual last time out at the Cheltenham Festival and is only a pound higher for that run. The better ground is fine and also ran a decent 4th in this race 12 months ago. Can go a few places better this time!
